"Amy Adams is incredible and inspiring - she's amazing"
About this Quote
The repetition (“incredible,” “inspiring,” “amazing”) isn’t clumsy so much as calibrated. In the current press ecosystem, actors are trained to be warm, safe, and eminently quotable. Hyperbolic sincerity travels better than nuance in a headline, and it sidesteps the risk of comparison. Sweeney doesn’t say Adams is better, or that she wants to emulate a specific performance; she keeps it high-level to avoid the trap of being pinned to a particular aesthetic or ambition.
Subtextually, it’s also a quiet response to the way young actresses are often framed: as brand, buzz, or controversy before craft. By invoking Adams, Sweeney tilts the conversation toward mentorship, influence, and professionalism - away from the churn of hot takes. It’s admiration, yes, but also insulation: a bid to be read through the lens of talent and longevity rather than whatever the internet decided this week.
